    Do not use K&R It is quite old and out of date.

    The far better book is
    C Reference Manual by Harbison and Steele

    BTW this is used by standards people as the K&R 2nd ed is dated 1988. That was in line with ISO C90 since then there were several changes in 93 and 94/5 with amendment 1 Then the complete overhaul for C99.

    IF you are programming in an embedded environment with a C compiler that is less than 10 years old K&R is not the book to use.

    I have it for historical reason but I use H&S as a working reference.
